Please see this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unit_testing_frameworks#.NET_programming_languages[^].

Most widely used tool is NUnit, of course, open-source:

I want to do it from code. I have used NUnit for that. But using NUnit requires to write test methods which i dont want. I want something like this: I have list of Files displayed in Grid and if i select any file then automatic unit testing will be done and result will be shown on page giving details of unit test of that file.

You should understand a simple thing: there is not such thing as miracle. If there is no test methods, then yes, you can automatically test the methods already written in your code. Of course, you can generate a number of calls, using Reflection.

But, in general case, it won't be a valid test, in principle. It will be a mess of false negatives and false positives, no matter how good is you testing application is. Do I even need to explain why?

You can take the next step also: automate the call to your Unit Tests, integrate that with automated builds. It's called Continuous Integration, and a list of tools is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration[^]
